Grabbed food to go and it was AMAZING! The special was pulled rib sandwiches so we got one of those, a pecan praline poundcake, and a three meat plate with brisket, pulled pork, and kielbasa. It was all delicious! We had both the bbq sauce and the mustard sauce, so yummy.
I took a little of the rib meat from the sandwich and mixed it in with the side of macaroni and cheese. The mac and cheese was already tasty and clearly not from a box, and adding the rib meat made it level 10 incredible!
Highly recommend. Very family friendly, afordable, filling, and delicious!!!!
Loved my lunch stop today. Very good pulled pork excellent brisket cooked just to the point to be able to pull apart with your hands. The barbeque sauce was balanced very well not too sweet not too vingerie. The sides were just as good. Mac and cheese cheesey runny gewyness. The beans cooked they way they should be there are some bits of meat on there too. Overall very good barbeque. It was empty when I pulled in but it got busy while I was eating. Good place good people stop by give it a try.

Amazing BBQ Brisket and all the fixing, not to mention the Banana pudding will max out your sugar levels. Tremendous service...So stop by and get your Grub On!!!

I ordered a half rack of ribs with cole slaw and jambalaya for my sides.
The half rack was 6 ribs of decent size and tasted great! The ribs came with a small container of sauce that you can Dib the ribs into, or dump over the top of the ribs.
The jambalaya was a special side today, it isn't a normally served side. I thought it was the best jambalaya I've had outside of Louisiana.
This was a nice lunch stop and I look forward to my next visit.
